We went to an opera about Lady Godiva recently. Who knew there was one?
‘PC WARNING’ …… the following video contains nudity …. caution by viewers should be observed …. may be unsuitable for some pilots
Here is another clue ….
This should go into the Pilot Jokes thread 
As Justine readily points out, we already seem to carry out most conversations using TLAs and this just takes it one step further
N52°22.37’ W1°28.66’
So, where is this mystery airport?

I don’t understand. I would be perfectly fine with this, would you be happier if you had to go some building and pay there?
Personally, I often need to buy fuel as well and would rather pay just one bill rather than two, and do it when I’ve got done securing the aircraft. It’s also cheaper for the airport (only one card processing fee instead of two).
There was a time (may still be the case, I don’t know) that when you landed a BizJet at Lagos, a very smartly uniformed lady with a clipboard would come aboard and say “$50 please.”
The first time you encountered this, you said, successively, “Are you from the airport? Handling Agent? Immigration? Health? Where are you from?”
Her reply would be “$50 please.”
This conversation would continue a couple of times until you said “F*** off out of my aeroplane”, which she then proceeded to do.
Of course, thereafter you are wised up, and you start with that conversational gambit.
I guess she only had to have someone fall for it a couple of times a month and that was her family fed. Respect 
I have been engines started at Berne when a van pulled up in front of me. It turned out that handling was compulsory for my weight, and, despite the fact that I had successfully self handled he wanted his money.
Not sure which is the worse shark. At least the woman in Lagos needed the money to feed her family.

You are so right! Actually I asked some very pleasant Dutch border police if they would refuel the plane for me while I went to the tower and they suddenly had something more important to do.

So there is absolutely no prize at all for the first person who can guess the name of this weirdly managed UK airfield. (Here’s a clue: £7K fine).
It still a nice place to visit assuming you have a working RT correctly tunned

Always happy to go there, preferably after having coffee/lunch in the restaurant and my mandatory loo checks
The easy way to get rid of “random officials in weirdly managed airfield” is to ask help/give a job, catch phrases are:
- The curious guy: “can you help us getting stuff out?”, “can you hold this for me?”
- The accountant guy: “don’t have cash/card, can you give us a lift to the nearest city local bank branch before 4pm?”
- The reporting guy: “will not find our way to the tower/customs, can you come with us?”
Most chasers will disappear when you ask them for spontaneous/innocent help
